play Blu-ray movies on iTunes library, the very
first thing you need to learn is what video and
audio formats iTunes support. So that you could
select proper video and audio formats during
Blu-ray to iTunes video conversion. Sometimes you
may also need to know why iTunes doesnt accept
your video files even when these files are with
extensions as required by iTunes. Below weve
listed the video and audio formats supported by
iTunes. iTunes supported video and audio
formats AVI is a popular container file format
used for watching standard definition video on
the PC and is the container used by DivX video
versions 3 through 6. AVI files can hold
different types of video and audio streams
inside, and with the help of DivX video
compression technology, they can display
incredible video quality while maintaining a
small file size. .divx files are also based on
the AVI container, but can contain additional
features like XSUB subtitles and chapters. Both
AVI and DIVX videos will play on all DivX
Certified devicesfrom tablets to TVs.

Note Due to limitations on video codecs, sample
rate, etc., some .mov, .m4v or .mp4 files might
be rejected by iTunes. You then need to convert
these files to iTunes compatible formats and
adjust these parameters by using professional
iTunes video converter.
Solution 1 Use iTunes Digital Copy Some DVD and
Blu-ray titles feature iTunes Digital Copy. With
iTunes Digital Copy, you get a digital version of
your movie in addition to the DVD or Blu-ray

parts of a Blu-ray into an MKV file that can then
be used by Handbrake to encode the video into the
right format that iTunes recognizes. MakeMKV
doesnt do any re-encoding or compressing of the
file so you are likely to end up with a 20-30GB
file when youre done.
